Cards from the Laurel shoe box swap

Here are the pictures of the cards from the shoe box swap organized by Kathy Winland, held in Laurel on Feb 27.  Next time I'll try to remove the cards from the plastic covers! I ended up with 29, so I think I am missing one.  If I am, send me the missing picture and I'll post it.  Since I didn't write down the person who created each card, they are all posted here without names.  Click on each one to get a bigger picture.

    I'll start with mine. More info in my original post of this card. 

Here are the rest in no particular order.

 

Really nice cards!  Thanks everyone!

Enjoy,

Lisa

ETA: Theresa wanted me to note that her card (the first one in the bottom row with bashful blue, basic black, and the large rose from Fifth Avenue Floral) is CASEd from Debbie Henderson, SU demo.

RemARKable Going Green Blog Tour - Post 1 - Use both sides

My project for today is a banner I made out of our new On Board Scallop Circle book, Shades of Spring Designer Series Paper, Pretty in Pink Satin Ribbon and the adorable Eggcellent Eggs Kit all from the Occasions Mini.

Here are close-ups of each letter, click on each picture to see the flowers and rhinestone embellishments from the Eggcellent Eggs Kit.  And I still have lots leftover from the kit to actually do my Easter Eggs!

So you are probably wondering, what's green about this?  Well, the banner is reversible!  The ribbon has eyelets to hold the rhinestone brads that attach each piece.  So when Easter is over, you can turn each piece around to spell out "create".  Perfect for a craft room!  Here are the flip sides.

Each letter is covered in the celery glitter from our Fine Cosmo Stampin' Glitter.  I thought about adding other embellishments, but I liked it this way and did not want to "guild the lily".  The On Board book bases are painted with our craft ink refills, used just like paint.  I also used my Big Shot to cut the designer paper scalloped circles, and the pink circles under each letter.  Oh how I love my Big Shot!

That's my project for today.  Click on the image below to get to the next stop on tour, don't forget to come back tomorrow!

Spring Birds

I am so ready for spring!  I made these adorable birds from the new On Board Bird book in the Occasions mini.

These are so simple & so much fun!  They are covered with Kaleidoscope DSP  on the front and solid card stock on the back.  The feet are unfolded large paper clips.  I decorated them with various ribbons and other embellishments.  So much fun, so cute and such a touch of spring!

This is what the "naked" On Board Bird books look like.  Just screaming to be played with.

If you haven't used the Kaleidoscope DSP yet, you are missing out.  This paper is so cool!  If works great for the birds and also cards & scrapbook pages, it's luscious!

I'm off to a shoe box swap tomorrow, so I'm sure I'll have a lot to share with you next week.

Enjoy,

Shades of Spring

I am soooo ready for spring!  Playing around with some of the cool new DSP from the Occasions mini and the new On Board Bird Book, I made this plant decoration.  I thought it might be a nice way to decorate an Easter Lilly plant for Easter.  I covered the chipboard bird shape with the DSP, cut out a few extra pieces of DSP for the wing and tail feather and attached them with Dimensionals.  Added a circle Rhinestone brad for the eye.  Then the fun began with glue & glitter!  I dyed a popsicle stick with Certainly Celery ink and attached it to the back with Sticky Tape.  All ready to decorate any plant!  This would make a nice gift for the plant lovers in your life.  Contact me to order the supplies.

Enjoy,
